Backdate Stamp Duty Fees for 2017 First Time Buyers

On November 22nd 2017, it was announced that First Time Buyers would no longer pay Stamp Duty on property purchases of less than £300,000. This would be effective immediately, saving the average qualifying First Time Buyer more than £2,500 on their property purchase.

In the face of rising costs of living and high property prices, I think it would only be fair to expect some backdated relief for those First Time Buyers who completed their property purchase in the weeks and months preceding this date.
